Looks like I can't do it "The postcode is invalid. Please enter a valid postcode."

EDIT: For some reason they think that the postcode for my street is different compared to what my postcode actually is. All the other details of the address are correct on the site but not the postcode, weird...

I have done this, and earned £15 so far in vouchers... it's easy just send the junk mail you receive back in SAE and record them. each of the parts you complete they give you £5 IL V's worth a try

Really?!? I can't do it because I have phone entry... Wish they didn't ring it half the time when baby was asleep...

I think you might be talking about something else. The reward here is postage stamps. These come in the form of books of standard stamps and sometimes special edition stamps. I recently received a set of Classic Children's TV for example.

As a member of the posting panel you are asked to record mail received from other members, and also to post specific items to other members, usually in specific time slots and using specified methods, e.g. post box, handed over at post office etc. You may also recieve and have to record other mail items such as magazines that are sent to you. Additionally you have to record the specific time you post items and enter data such as the last posting times displayed at post offices you use.

I think there is a periodic prize draw to win high street vouchers but I've never seen any of these.

It's not difficult to do, but you do need to be a little organised to remeber that next Tuesday you have to post a specific letter between 10:00 and 13:00 and record the details.

No I am talking about TNS where I enrolled and participated in 3 different surveys, 1st one just recording any UAM, then 2nd/3rd time actually sending them back and recording them all these times I got vouchers....

I signed up for this year's ago..still waiting for my first survey

Not really practical when you work 10hrs a day

26th Jun 2014

Signed up for this month's ago but heard nothing.

26th Jun 2014

Ive done this before - I think its a lot of work for a couple of books of stamps, especially so if you work during the day and they want you to take a package to the post office between set times. I was getting 2 or 3 parcels a week at one point.

26th Jun 2014

Been doing this for a few months. Get 12 free 1st class stamps and 4 1st class large letter stamps each month. You get a £1 shopping voucher for every box parcel you send. Easy really!!!

26th Jun 2014

I did this and finished a cycle a few months ago (they send you stuff for a few months then you have to wait a while before you can do it again). It seems like a good deal at first but after a while it becomes tedious as you have to remember to post items on various days at specific times then remember to log on and record the details. If you have a lot of spare time then it would be great for you but if you're usually busy it will feel like a burden. Additionally, after I purchased Royal Mail shares during the offering they have now told me I'm ineligible to participate anymore. Luckily it was after I had finished the cycle so at least I now have a good stock of stamps!

26th Jun 2014

I have been involved with this for some time they give you every month a book of 12 1st class stamps and a book of 4 large stamps ,depending what you are posting ie dvd boxes and small boxes which have to be taken to post offices they will give some love to shop vouchers normally £2.00 a time .If you dont live near a main post office think before getting involved as the petrol will cost more than they give also if you are working this can be a pain as every thing sent out has to be as they ask in time frames ...Hope it helps ..

It was the same for me last year, when we moved to a new address. The council/postoffice/studentfinance and other government places didn't know our street even existed. Our insurance for both house/car almost doubled because the post code wasn't in the system properly yet!

Put post code in caps

It was typed in correctly, it's just they probably get their postcode info from Google (who also don't have the correct postcode for my street) I have reported the postcode being incorrect to Google in the hope that they'll update it.

At the end of survey:

"And finally, please can you select a reference code from the list below. The code can be found either on the the promotional leaflet, or on the email that you received. "

drop-down menu options:

INTERNETROYAL MAIL WEBSITEFRIEND OR FAMILYKANTARB01KANTARP01OTHER

i do not have any liflet or email.

Any idea?

26th Jun 2014

Will give it a goThanks

26th Jun 2014

Tried this as well. Was good at the start when I only had to post one letter a week but then it got ridiculous was receiving junk mail, sever letters and parcels a day as well as letters to send off. Good if you have lots of free time but otherwise not worth the hassle

I've just registered and had the same concern about which ref. code to use from the drop-down menu. I selected "OTHER" as I think it best fits how I became aware of the info.. Hope it was the right decision!Thanks OP.

26th Jun 2014

Thanks for posting this op, Very handy for me as I live next to post office,

On the drop down box at the end I chose INTERNET, As I found it on here,

Aw well, We'll see how it goes

26th Jun 2014

I have been doing this for a few years.

I cant always get the items sent/handed over to the post office on time, So don't feel that you have to do it on the exact day it states.

Ive sent things a week later than they should for around 8 months now as i cant always post on time, And they are fine with it as-long as you log when it was sent then that's ok.

You might have to wait for a slot as it has been oversubscribed in some areas.

26th Jun 2014

Cheers OP, i missed the last one they did

26th Jun 2014

This has been going for a couple of years now. Like others have said it's OK if you have lots of spare time. I think that I cancelled my membership after about 2 months as I was overloaded with mail and back and forth to the P.O practically everyday!!! They were just giving stamps out for doing this, that was fine, no complaints but more time spent than I could afford. oO

Thank you khile11!

I'm doing it at the moment. It's alright I would say it's a very cheap way for them to monitor post.

Some weeks you get quite a lot to send so plenty of trips to the post office, others hardly any.

is it worth it, my missus would say no with the stack of envelopes and other stationary amassed in the corner.

26th Jun 2014

I recently did something like this for Amazon, was annoying after a while, but got a free tenner for it. Time for some free stamps!

Thank you OP

Recently had to cancel this as I am moving... was a bit of a ball ache having to prep items to send and then aiming to send them at a certain time (like 10am on a Saturday from a Post Office). Got a fair few free stamps and probably £10 Love2Shop vouchers over 6 months, but I won't be registering again at my new address.

Good if you have lots of free time and easy access to a Post Office, and make use of the free stamps, but more hassle than its worth for me...

26th Jun 2014

It can be a pain when receiving large items as if not in and postie takes back to sorting office its a trip for you at your own expense and time.
